Is TCNJ fairly easy to get into? Or easier than Rutgers? I applied in December and got my acceptance letter with a merit scholarship 2 days ago.
Just got an email basically telling me I did not get into my major, but that they will reassess my application if I select a new major. Has anyone else gotten an email like this?
Did everyone just get letters in the mail saying that they were accepted or was it in email form? I have only received an email giving me my portal information and username, but my online application status says nothing about an acceptance or rejection. I applied January 21st, so do you think I will receive a decision within the next few days?
We received a letter in the mail…when I checked the portal under accept or deny your offer, the admissions status was posted there.
@ccsierra1999
My acceptance came in the mail. TCNJ said they will let everyone know by April 1st. That was only the first “wave”. Good luck!
Anyone accepted into the school of business yet?
@misturcliff - my son applied a few years ago for Computer Science. He got the same letter as you (TCNJ is known for doing this). He switched from Comp Sci to Business and they reviewed his application again. He then got waitlisted 
He asked admissions to change his major back to Comp Sci, for the wait list, since changing his major did nothing to improve his chances. He did get accepted off the waitlist for Comp. Sci., but by then it was too late, he had already committed to another school.
If you think there is a major you can switch to that would be a close second to your original choice, then go for it. If you then get accepted into the new major, be very careful about committing. Be sure that the new major is truly a good fit, and get in touch with your admissions counselor at TCNJ to discuss your concerns and/or options. Best of luck to you!
@jjmom1 thank you. I originally applied for biology (which I did not even want anyway) and now I’m choosing interactive multimedia which suits me much better. I am curious as to how many kids get this type of email
@misturcliff I rec’d same letter. I had applied biology too & changed my
Major last week. I guess now we just wait
@noelle2017 How do you change your major? I got accepted but want to change major.
@btstaehyung123 admissions sent an email with a link. You prob have to ask then since you were accepted bc this was to apply to a different major

Invitation to apply for Gateway Scholar I think it’s called?
If accepted to that, would there be an additional scholarship? It’s unclear.
Other financial aid has not been sent.
Got accepted last friday, got the HONORS EMAIL TODAY!! yay!
All of a sudden the username and password I’ve been using to log into PAWS aren’t working. I even did the account lookup again to make sure I was using the correct info and it still didn’t work. Did this happen to anyone else when their status was being updated? That’s the only thing I can think of that would cause this
Nevermind! It seems to be working again and my application status hasn’t changed.
I applied to nursing 11/1 still no decision?
